A frightful Accident,

On Saturday morning last as young
Henry Keller and his grandfather,
Mr.. Rien, were driving toward the
Keller factory with a spirited team
attached to a light buggy, they were
run into by hand car on the cross.
ing near the Novelty Wood Works.
The car struck the rear wheels of the
buggy throwing Mr.. Rien dozen
feet into the ditch, knocking him
senseless, and little Henry was
thrown over the dashboard upon the
tongue between the horses. The
team was thoroughly frightened and
ran up the hill at a furious rate.
The boy managed to climb back
from his perilous position into
the buggy, gathered up the reins
and got control of the horses after
they had run nearly a mile, and
drove them back to look after his
grandfather, whom he thought had
oOCh hillcus I1OH. "A. MCOE6 u5u,
meantime, picked up the old gentle
man, lifted him into his buggy and
taken him to Mr.. Keller's residen ce.
He recovered consciousness upon
reaching home, and was assisted into
the house. 1t was found that he
was severely, but not seriously in
iured, although still under a physi-
clans care. He alighted squarely
upon his shoulders, and 1t is won
der he escaped.
The occupants of the hand car
when they saw that a collision was
inevitable, leaped from the car
which was derailed. and escaped
injury. 49,
The crossing, when the yard is
filled with freight cars as it was
upon this occasion, is dangerous
and too much precaution cannot he
taxed.

has been published by the Pioneer
Coal Co., and is subject to change on
September LIST:
1.ackawanna, per ton, 50 05
Piston, " 9 O5
Cross Creek Lehigh" 9 80
The first two grades are equal to
any sold in this market, in every par
ticular, while the latter is conceded
by all who have used it to be far bet
ter and we'll worth the difference in
price.
This coal is remarkable for its great
purity, its durability, its freedom
from clinker and its small per cent.
age of ash. It is mined in the heart
OF the Lehigh region, and no expense
or trouble is spared in its prepara-
ton.
1t must not be COMPOUNDED with
the product of the Lehlgh Coal and
Iron Co., which is an inferior article,
but is the product OF the very best
mines in the anthracite region of
Pennsylvania owned by the Lshigh
railroad company. The Pioneer
Fuel Co. have the exclusive sale of
this coal in the northwest, acting as
the direct agents of the mine owners,
and owning their own docks at Du-

The Andrews Opera Company.
Our village was highly favored
on Friday and Saturday evenings of
last week by entertainments by the
Andrews Opera Company, under the
auspices of the band. On Friday
evening the Mascot was given to a
good house, the company carrying it
by storm and winning the most ex-
allied encomiums from an exception

Where all did so we'll it is difficult
to particularize without doing in.
justice to some, but in paying the
highest tributs TO the art of E. NJ.
Andrews, no exceptions can be
taken. He is second to few, even
the most famou as Il comedian. He
is wit personifed,and all through his
acting are strokes of genius. He is
mirth. provoking by his very pres
ence. Not a word or gesture but
was iadescribably comical, while his
facial play is truly wonderful. The
gobble song by Miss Wilkinson and
Geo. Andrews will not soon be for
gotten by those who heard it. The
others rendered their parts admir-
ably and it was thoroughly salts
fed audience which dispersed at the
close of the last act.

Board Of Trade

At the regular meeting of the
Board of Trade, the committee on
the North Western Package Com
pany, reported very satisfactory
progress, and the committee was
continued, after full discussion of
the subject.
Senator Keller of the committe
on electric lights, submitted a long
verbal report, together with several
propositions from persons and COM
panies interested in electric light
ing. The correspondence indicates
that an arc-light plant can be put in
for about $4,000 besides the power
and the lights would cost fifty cents
per night each. An incandescent
plant would cost $1,000 and provid.
ing from 600 to 800 lights could be
secured, it would be successful. On
this proposition an engine and boiler
company would take one-third the
stock, the company one-third, leaving
ona-third to be subscribed by our
citizens.
Mr.. Keller thought it would be best
to bond the village for 5000, and
the village put in and own the.plant,
and SO recommended. The report was
laid over for one week, for the pur-
pose of discussing the proposition to
bond the village. There being no
other business, the board adjourned.
